Twitter's Blue Tick Price To Revive

December 08, 2022 Story: Divya Sinha

As per the reports, Twitter will change the price of its Twitter Blue subscription products from $7.99 to $11 when paying via the iPhone app and $7 when paying via the website.

[{"selector":"#anim-8faf7e58-766b-4fd3-ab92-f7efc72550f1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.13652%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9cbefdd-ee9e-4713-ba02-8dd4a1ec4178","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df734662-4e4a-4328-ae02-82cf27a225a4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The move is likely in reaction to Apple's slashing 30% on all payments made by users through apps on its iOS operating system, the report said.

In addition, the site's lower prices are also likely to attract more users to the platform than signing up on an iPhone.

There is no mention of whether the price will change on the Android platform as well.
